The first time i heard this cd, i was a bit sceptical however, after a few more listens, it has become nothing short of my favourite mixed session. Jacques Lu Cont is amazing. Looking at the 'all over the shop' track list may make you think '"Argh" do i want to listen to this?' But complied togther, this Fabric session is not one to be missed. It is awsome!

This set is awesome. Anyone that includes any remix of Royksopp's "Remind Me" or otherwise gets 5 stars. "Abracadabra", "Theme from 2001", "Sweet Dreams" - what?! The mix seamless. So far I haven't found a Fabric Live cd I don't like. This one is by far the best.

The 'Abracadabra' remix is etherial. Aural viagra. This dude is like a black and dekker on the ones and twos. Like an inter-generational fruit salad of auditory porn.

Stuart Price can't make anything bad. He goes under many names....Thin White Duke, Zoot Woman, Jacques Lu Cont, and many other productions. This album is awesome. Other reviews that bash this mix are crazy. Yes, the original songs on this albums are good, but this goes to show that remixes of classics can be done...and done well. Listen to this album driving on the freeway. Guaranteed to stimulate, but don't blame me when you get a speeding ticket.

if your into great music, let stuart price re-invent music for you

the same songs sound different
and new again

my favorite dj

The Fabriclive series is highly praised by some, but out of the half-dozen or so albums I've heard so far, only one has received a thumbs up from this reviewer (Fabriclive.16 by Adam Freeland). The others are either dreadful or just average. Fabriclive.09 by Jacques Lu Cont is a set that contains one good track ("Gold Is Your Metal"). The others are average electro-funk tracks or dubs/re-edits of music that originally fell into rock or pop genres. I hate it when a rock/pop/alternative track gets edited into a pseudo-electronica track. Unlike genuine electronica, the original music was not designed to be set to a beat and does injustice to both the original genre the music was taken from and the world of electronica. Examples from this album include: "Abracadabra", "Sweet Dreams", and "I Wanna Rock!". Tacky, tacky, tacky! Music you would expect to hear at a county fair. Thumbs down for Fabriclive.09.

2.5/5 stars.
